#the swiftcast

[cloaksandcapes]

Inspired by a artifact weapon in the Wildermyth (amazing Indie game, go look it up!) that had a Swiftcast feature that let you interfuse with an object for free. I wondered what a swift cast might look like in D&D. Sorcerer can speed up a spell from an action to a bonus action. But, what about getting a free spell cast in there somewhere?

Swiftcast Scepter

Wondrous Item, very rare

“This magic wand looks like it could be the horn of a unicorn, but is made of a coral material. It’s rough and coarse to the touch. The bottom of it has been rounded out and smoothed down for an easy and comfortable grip.”

This scepter is imbued with magic that affects the way arcane energies interact with time. If you're a spellcaster, you can use this as a spellcasting focus.

While holding this scepter, you gain a +2 bonus to spell attack rolls.

Swiftcast. You can use the magic of this scepter to swiftly cast a spell a few seconds into the future. On your turn, you can cast one additional spell that has a casting time of one action, on top of your regular action. You can do this even if you’ve already cast another leveled spell.

The spell goes into effect at the start of your next turn, and does not prevent you from casting another leveled spell on that turn. Once you use this property, you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.

We had extremely clean runs of M5-M8 this morning, and I was worried everyone was good at the fights now that a week had passed, but this afternoon proved that the raids remain as Exciting as ever

Featuring:

Did BOTH of you just gap close off the edge?

Oh, cohealer has the flare. Oh.

The monk... Why didn't you move...

considering reworking m'seyli to be a scholar but like horse girl edition. she's got a special bond with her chocobo she raised from a chick and instead of a fairy she's supplementing her own healing ability with hashbrown's chococure and Powerful Horsebird Kicks To Enemy Groins. everything she tries to summon inexplicably is shaped like a chocobo. it's so silly but that's her whole thing babey and it matches pictomancer krile's level of silly too. and comes with the bonus of her not looking like shit in her job gear anymore.

you know when the tank (whom by nature have "gotta go fast" disease) stops to thank you for keeping the party alive the run was going a Certain Way

[scionshtola]

i got the most recent trial in roulette and listen i cannot judge too much bc i died 3 times in the exact. and i mean exact. same way. but. there was an rdm in here who has hard-casting raise while half our party was down. at level 90.

[hopskipandarump]

i love being an asocial motherfucker in df

i turn up

say nothing

kickflip the boss

[devotedlystrangewizard]

nothing in this game is more entertaining to me rn than playing pictomancer, literally turning your back to the boss, and THEN painting

[tovaicas]

ok question does it actually matter in what order you rotate between red -> yellow -> green summons bc I've just been doing whatever

It *really* depends on the skill and the text itself (I play with UI sound effects off, so that doesn't come into it). Incomprehensible uwu speak that's only tangentially related to the skill on your entire DPS rotation? Please just stop pressing buttons, it's not worth it, I'd rather just carry you. An insulting raise macro about how you're a waste of their mana? Yeah, I'm blocking them and considering a report if it's really bad. A joke I don't think is funny that informs me that an actually relevant thing, like an invuln or a raise, is happening? It's your hydaelyn-given right to make unfunny jokes!

Basically a macro needs to do three things: 1.) Inform the group of something that at least one person might benefit from knowing (raise and invuln definitely, dragooon eyeball tether maybe, your 123 rotation absolutely not). 2.) Be comprehensible. Ideally it should use the actual name of the skill. It MUST use a commonly understood term for the skill. If it can only be understood by people who have seen a certain anime or who can translate uwuspeak on the fly, it's a bad macro. Much of the incomprehensibility can be remedied by simply including the skill name in autotext somewhere in there. (autotext makes it comprehensible to players who speak a different language, too) 3.) Not be insulting, meanspirited, or otherwise inappropriate to say to a complete stranger

My rez macros (I have a collection of them) are things like "meow meow! <raising> <target>". If someone thinks my meowing is cringy, they can cringe. But the macro clearly tells people that I've got that raise handled, and does so without insulting anyone.

Poll for fellow FFXIV players:

What are your thoughts on people who have macro texts with their actions in battle? Things like a WHM having a Raise macro like "Now raising <target name>!"

If I miss an option, feel free to speak your piece in the post's comments.

(Ay it's my first poll!)

Got to deploy my summoner rez on a dead healer

[helladventurers]

Tried out black mage to get an alt set up so I can unlock red mage right away after I buy endwalker, and 💀 NGL the 1-50 rotation is so fucking boring and brain dead. Maybe it gets better on later level uncaps, but as is this is definitely the worst out of the jobs I played so far

[snow-system-wol]

Well, at least I can say I main-tanked some of M7!

... unfortunately, I was WHM at the time, but I think it still counts

IMPORTANT ADVICE FOR TRANSFEMS WHO ARE JUST STARTING TO TRANSITION

you can swiftcast + holy on trash pulls to keep enemies stunned and stop them from attacking the tank

[bluebudgie]

It went ok enough 👍(i died bc i got some fire orb attached and forgor what to do with it and by the time i had started running around like a headless chicken i already hit the floor LOL. Dont think anyone gave a fuck)

Just watched a World of Darkness guide

What the fuck

When you accidentally spend your Swiftcast Rez on the same person as the other healer:
